Clydee L. Link, age 84 of Baraboo, passed away on Sunday, March 5, 2006 at St. Clare Meadows Care Center. She was born on October 10, 1921 in Tacoma, Wash. to Augustus and Mary (Turnhaus) Seward.

Link on May 27, 1940 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Rock Springs. She raised many children, foster children, nieces and nephews, and always made room for more. Her rules included spanking if you were naughty, for her own children and all of the others; and you ate what was put on the table, although that was never a hardship as she was an excellent cook. Clydee loved to garden and thoroughly enjoyed growing her flowers. She became a member of the Meadow Lane family at St. Clare Meadows in May 2003. She loved participating in all of the activities, becoming known as the "social butterfly" to her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Fred in 2002; and her sister Viola.

The family would like to extend its appreciation to Clydee's special friends: Dennis Heier, for all of his kindness to their mother; and Gordy Herfort; and to the great staff at Meadow Lane for making her last years so full of joy.
